Charles E. Foster.
The republican nominee forpolice
Judge to be voted on at the coming
election Is Charles E. Foster, a
young lawyer, clean, capable and
conscientious Neither before nor
since the primary campaign bss sny
reputable and responsible person had
a word to, ssy against Mr. Foster's
personal qualifications and ability.
Everyone who knows him Is fully
satisfied that he will make an al
most Ideal police magistrate, and
there is something more In this
promise than mere hope, based on
campaign buncombe.
Mr. Foster is not a reformed re
former suddenly turned agitator to
capture votes: he is not a loafer,
nor a roustabout, nor a saloon on
hanger, but Is In good standing In
bis lodges and other organisations
for mutual snd civic betterment. He
Is not a fanatic, but a man of good,
hard common sense. He is quiet
snd unassuming, but Industrious and
vigorous, and has had good experi
ence as a practicing lawyer. He Is
a graduate of the University of Ne
braska law school, where be did
credit to Dean Reese and his other
instructors. Mr. Foster was for
years associated with the law firm
of Baldrlge & De Bord, and for two
years an efficient deputy attorney
under Judge Blabaugh. As police
Judge he will not be used by any
body, but may be depended on to
dispense Justice with strictness, yet
with mercy and sympathy, to the
unfortunates whose offenses bring
them there.
If such a meritorious young man
as Charles E. Foster should be
turned down by the voters In favor
of a broken-down democratlo hack
politician, with an unssvory reputa
tion and bad public record, there
would be little incentive In the fu
ture for promising young men In
thla community to aspire to places
where they can be of public service.
Growth of the Tobacoo Combine.
The report of the commissioner of
corporations on the Tobacoo combine
Is an Impressive document It tends
substantially to relieve the adminis
tration from any aaperlty of unJuat
criticism for its action leading to the
order of dissolution. The report
deals with the earnings. caDitalLie-
tion and investment, and Commis
sioner Herbert Knox Smith observes,
with apparently no effort to be face
tloua: It shows the area I earnlna newer thmt
arts from substantial control of a 1..
Indue try.
The tobacoo Industry popularly
known aa the trust, begin business
In 180 with, the modest capltalita
tlon of $15,000,000, operating, the
report says. In cigarettes only. la
eighteen yeare, or by 1908. it had
prospered so extensively as to con
trol four-fifths of the entire tobacco
Industry In this country and bad a
net 'capitalisation of 1316,000.000.
But, of course, some are ever ready
to defend even such rapacious prog
ress aa the outcome of good business
management The good management
is not to be questioned, ss witness
this statement, clear snd - unqual
ified: Thla concentration U tha basis of tha
combination's great earning power.
Evidently, then, It was more than
"good business management," It
must have been a plain dlsregardfor
the rules of reasonable buslpess con
duct which produced this amatlng re
sult. "High rates of earnings have
gone with monopolistic control of the
industry and the lose the degree of
control the lets the rate," gays the
earnings? In 1901, when the trust
was getting well set upon the trade.
its rate of earnings was 18 per cent,
in 1903 it was 16 por cent and from
1904 to 1908 the average was 19
per cent, or $31,200,000 annually.
American Education in China.
Thoughtful Americana long ago
saw the great wisdom, ss well ss
magnanimity. In our government
remitting to China the Boxer Indem
nity of $13,000,000 on condition of
sending to be educated in America
100 young Chinese each year for Are
years and fifty each year for twenty
nine years. In the meantime, others
are coming on their own account,
a one of the direct resulu of this
bit of American diplomatic philan
thropy. No one can begin to estimate or
forecast the fruits and influence of
this anion, but those who care to
analyze conditions may see In the
present upheaval In China some part
this Influence is playing and will yet
play. William W. Lock wood, gen
eral secretary of the Young Men's
Christian association at Shanghai
and formerly of Omaha, writes a
very enlightening article on "The
Chinese Students in America" In a
recent issue of the Independent, In
which he states thst early In the
'70s China, in a burst of Impulse,
dispatched a delegation of young
men to American schools and col
leges, and upon learning that they
were fast discarding oriental cus
toms and dress, if not religion for
those of the Occident, the Imperial
authorities cut off their allowances
and sent them return-trip tickets.
On landing In their native country
the young men were despised and
cast aside, taking whatever they
could get to earn their living. But
the enlightenment they received in
the United States never left them
and today many of them are leaders
In the new government regime and
are active in bringing about the po
litical regeneration of China, while
others are dominant power In the
Chinese business world.
But today larger numbers of
young ChlDese are coming to us for
life's preparation and the distin
guishing fact Is that they are com
ing with the cordial approval and
material aid of their country and
upon their return are elevated to
high stations of authority. Thts Is
sccepted ss true: that orientals once
Instructed In modern, occidental
thought and action, do not revert to
their ancient systems. Along with
the work of the missionary, there
fore, goes that of our peerless stroke
of diplomacy In remitting this In
demnity upon such transcending
conditions. Mr. Lockwood points
out that this oldest, of eastern em
pires has come to this youngest of
western republics for the band to
lead it out of 1U darkness.
The Sacramento Union complains
because Secretary Clavis of the Cali
fornia , State Conservation commis
sion, members of the supreme court
and other state officials are desert
ing the state bouse at Sacramento
and setting up their offices in San
Frsnclaeo. The Union observes that
if these officials cared to obey the
law they would not do this. Just

w-a suggested that this could be accom

struct every enlisted man in their re
spectlve reglmenta Probably the savin
effected in prolonging the life of leather

times repay the expense of sending the

and it Is likely that some action along
the lines Indicated may be taken.
Completing; Enlistment.
It Is provided by law that an enlist
ment in the, army shall not be regarded
as complete until the soldier shall have
mad good any time lost during an en
listment period by unauthorized absences
exceeding one day. A private In the hos
pital corps of the army was recently
found to have been absent without leave
for two periods and It was further shown
that hs was arrested by the civil au
thorities, was tried by a civil court and
released under auspended sentence and
returned to the military authority. He
wa In charge of the civil authorities for
about six weeks and, from an army
standpoint, was looked upon as having
been absent without leave. If he had
been acquitted, th oas would have been
otherwise. While he was restored to
duty he was Stilt under suipended sen
tence, was considered In no position to
render proper service to th government,
sin oe at any time he was liable to be ar
rested and mad to serve sentence by the
civil authorities, and hi restoration was
not In accordance with th rule gener
ally observed heretofore. However, as
h wa restored to duty this question
was overlooked. It Is held, however, that
tha period of time h was In th hands of
the civil authorities, together with the
two periods when he was absent without
leave, must be added to his term of en
listment. Ballated Ment'a Examinations.

THE AUTO ON THE FARM.
Peoria Transcript.
Tha auto on the farm arose
Before th dawn at four,
It milked th cow and washed the clotbee
And finished every chore
Then forth It went into the field
Just at the break of day.
It reaped and threshed th golden yteM
And hauled it all away.
It plowed th field that afternoon
And when the Job was through
It hummed a pleasant little tune
And churned the butter, too.
And pumped the water for the stock
And ground a crib of corn
And hauled the baby round the block
To etui its cries forlorn.
Thus ran the busy hours away
By many a labor blest.
And yet, when fell the twilight gray,
That auto had no rest.
For while th farmer, peaceful eyed.
Read by the Tungsten's glow.
The patient auto stood outside
And ran the dynamo.
